title: Exploiting shape effects of La2O3 nanocatalysts for oxidative coupling of methane reaction.
abstract: High activity towards oxidative coupling of methane and high selectivity for C2 hydrocarbons could be achieved over La2O3 nanorods with a large surface area, strong surface basic sites, electron deficient surface oxygen species and defined surface structure compared with La2O3 nanoparticles at low temperature.
